Project description:The aim of this study was to identify the transcriptomic response 6 hours after the MRT irradiation, in normal brain tissue (11 samples) and in glioma tissue (11 samples), in rat. The orthotopic tumor-bearing rats were either treated with MRT radiation (six MRT-tumors), or untreated (five No irradiated tumors). The contralateral half hemisphere without tumor received the MRT treatment for six rats (6 MRT-Contralateral samples) and no irradiation for five rats (5 Untreated contralateral samples). Six hours after treatment, the tumors and their controlateral regions were resected and analysed for transcriptomic response.
Project description:Analysis of LBNF1 rat testes from controls, containing both somatic and all germ cell types and from irradiated rats in which all cells germ cells except type A spermatgogonia are eliminated. Results provide insight into distinguishing germ and somatic cell genes and identification of somatic cell genes that are upregulated after irradiation.
Project description:In order to establish a rat embryonic stem cell transcriptome, mRNA from rESC cell line DAc8, the first male germline competent rat ESC line to be described and the first to be used to generate a knockout rat model was characterized using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis.
Project description:d-serine is naturally present throughout the human body. It is also used as add-on therapy for treatment-refractory schizophrenia. d-Serine interacts with the strychnine-insensitive glycine binding site of NMDA receptor, and this interaction could lead to potentially toxic activity (i.e., excitotoxicity) in brain tissue. The transcriptomic changes that occur in the brain after d-serine exposure have not been fully explored. Affymetrix microarray technology was used to determine differential gene expression resulting from D-Serine exposure. Keywords: Dose course
